JD Vance's Munich statement was the most horrifying foreign policy speech of the Trump Administration to date.

He ignored the topic of Ukraine and instead spouted MAGA imperialist propaganda, telling Europeans to stop protecting their elections & welcome unregulated tech interference in democracy.

Het ‘langzame geweld’ van hongersnood liet diepe sporen na in het geheugen van Europa

Geschiedenis: Hongersnoden hebben tot in de 20ste eeuw vreselijk huisgehouden in Europa. Een Nederlands project onderzocht de maatschappelijke impact ervan.
